The Photo Files — ROGER'S PHOTOGRPAHY CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE

Film, family, and a life behind the camera.

Photography as a way of seeing — vintage film cameras, family work, and stories from a working life behind the camera. Practical, opinionated, and free. The companion conversation to my book, Thieves of Light.
